Re: Upcoming Shows

Yeah, we all entered a contest to try and get into that show on 2/5 a little while back Spooks.

Nice! If they're going to have an orchestra of 170 musicians playing in the round, it must be a pretty big space. Hope you guys get to go!

Next week hopefully

The Dillinger Escape Plan

Tour dates? New song? What do you want? Both? Oh right you want us to release a whole ALBUM of new songs and then for us to tour relentlessly and play somewhere that's fairly convenient to your current location in the process. Greedy motherfuckers. Well it just so happens that that is precisely what we're about to do. All in favor?

Re: Upcoming Shows

He's bringing sexy back.....

Justin Timberlake took inspiration from his new single, "Suit and Tie," when he performed his first show in almost five years Saturday night. He took the stage on Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans "all dressed up in black and white," as the song says, down to his two-tone shoes. Backed by the Tennessee Men, a similarly dapper 15-piece band, Timberlake adopted a classic style down to the bowtie, cufflinks and part on the side of his slicked-back hair. He presided over the AXS TV/DirecTV Super Saturday Party with the ease and amusement of someone who seems entertained by the trappings of his own fame.

When he performed "Suit and Tie" late in the set, he was joined to little surprise by Jay-Z, who had been sighted in New Orleans earlier in the week. The good-natured vibe of the show extended to their chemistry, as Timberlake and Jay-Z grinned and goofed with each other, obviously enjoying their moment together.

"Suit and Tie" was the third song of the night from Timberlake's upcoming album, The 20/20 Experience. Icy keyboard-generated strings introduced "Pusher Lover Girl," which used drug and addiction language to explore a romantic relationship over a loping mid-tempo groove, while "That Girl" was a throwback to an easy, summertime cruising R&B jam with the chorus "I'm in love with that girl / don't be mad at me."

The set was geared to the party atmosphere, though, so it was shy on ballads and went easy on the unfamiliar. Shortly after 11 p.m., a red curtain rose to reveal his big band, complete with four backing vocalists and a four-piece horn section, and Timberlake rolled through such crowd pleasers as "Cry Me a River," "FutureSex/LoveSound," "Rock Your Body," a dreamy "What Comes Around" and the closing "SexyBack," with a guest appearance by Timbaland. He also covered INXS's "I Need You Tonight" and the Jacksons' "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)," bringing his backing vocalists to the front of the stage for some retro choreography that included a breakdown to "shovel the funk."

Re: Upcoming Shows

never got a chance to talk about it, but I thought The Who were great the other night. lots of fun and it was a real treat seeing Quadrophenia plus an encore of Who are you, Babaoreilly, and Wont Get Fooled again plus others. Roger and Pete sounded good for their age, and the rest of the band were also good.
